Question
My child has been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. What effective treatment methods can help improve their symptoms?
Answer
There are various treatment methods for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Firstly, consider zinc supplementation, which is crucial for maintaining acid-base balance in the body. One cause of hyperactivity is high blood lead levels, and zinc intake can help lower lead levels. It is recommended to consume foods rich in zinc, such as fish, peanuts, and eggs. Additionally, ensure that children with hyperactivity have adequate rest, nutrition, and hydration, and take necessary safety measures to prevent injuries and reduce the occurrence of complications. Help children eliminate various stress factors and correct habits such as eye blinking, head shaking, or neck twisting in a timely manner to avoid forming habitual movements. Actively engage in rehabilitation therapy to help children plan their learning schedules and encourage participation in activities.
